Who wants to WIN a Cuttlebug?!!!

Don't forget to pause my blog music (way down bottom) before watching.

I've been hyping up this giveaway for a while now...and for good reason! Right before our trip to The Creative Connection we struck up a relationship with some sweethearts at Provo Craft...this is the company behind the famous Cricut cutting machine. We got the newest Cricut right before we left for Minnesota. The 5th Anniversary Cricut Expression arrived at our door literally on the day we left for TCC...and we couldn't wait to get back home so that we could play with our new toy. Well, surprisingly enough, it turned out that Provo Craft occupied the booth next to ours at The Creative Connection vendor market. So, we actually got to preview our new toy before even opening the box...we got to play with the display model right there at the vendor market. We were amazed at it's capabilities! And the gals working the booth were total sweeties. Upon arrival back home we read the Cricut directions and toyed around with it...amazing stuff! But once again, we had to leave home...this time for Art is You. So our Cricut had to sit at home and wait for us again. We're back home now and playing with it...we will have much more detailed examples of how we put Cricut to good use...but for now let me just say that it will be instrumental in the way some of our future kits will be put together...custom stencils, die-cuts, etc...I can't wait to really get this thing cranking.So, I know what you're thinking..."what's with all this Cricut talk?...I thought there was gonna be a giveaway."Well, there is. As I said earlier, the Provo Craft peeps are sweethearts, and we started a little relationship with those guys. They are so sweet in fact that they offered me The Cuttlebug to give away to one lucky blog reader!! This is huge! It's a $90 item! And it's a fantastic piece of machinery. I've included a video for it here...and a video for the Cricut Expression just so you can see what I've been talking about. (and the vid for the Cuttlebug is 5 years old...man, things age fast! That's some "exciting" music!)

So this is it...the Giveaway you guys have been waiting for! The Cuttlebug!! It's sitting here in our studio still safely sealed inside the box it was shipped in. Sure I was tempted to open her up and fiddle with her a bit...but I stopped myself every time. I want the lucky winner to be the absolute first person to lay hands on this beauty! It's a die cutting and embossing machine...total professional quality. It can cut felt, chipboard, metal, papers, etc... and it's completely hand powered. The compact size of it and the fact that it's hand powered are two aspects that get me most excited. It would be so awesome to pack this little cutie for art events like Art is You. If you're the sharing type, you'd be the hit of your table!

Anyway, let's get to it. Here's how you win your Cuttlebug: I'm giving you THREE chances to win!# 1. Follow this blog & leave a comment on this blog post letting me know why you would love to own a Cuttlebug.

# 2.Mention this giveaway on your blog and post a comment here with a link back to your blog post that mentions the giveaway.

And since this is such a special prize I'm keeping the entry period open for 2 WEEKS. Out of the comments I will pick a winner on Friday October 28th!! ;)

And one more thing. We just put our Beaux Gateaux kit in our shop. After teaching some classes that featured our Cake Art we've been getting tons of requests for kits featuring our Cakes. So Beaux Gateaux is now in the shop and we are currently working on two brand new kits featuring fabulous cake art...I hope the first one is in the shop by tomorrow. It's a super fab kit...we're just putting the finishing touches on it and we are psyched...it's one that we would buy for ourselves if we saw it for sale somewhere. That's the standards we keep for our Cake Art...it has to be something that we would adore ourselves.Ok, that's it for now...good luck with the giveaway...and get busy with some Cake Art. Beaux Gateaux is a great kit to start with...excellent for Mom and Daughter to create together.xoxo, Jenny

I love that this little machine cuts a variety of materials and I could use this for so many things from paper crafts to art projects. I even think this would be great to use with some of my kids school projects and the preschooler still at home. Thanks for the giveaway!

I do craft days at my house for friends. Most of them are on very restricted budgets so cannot afford to spend any money for craft supplies. They come and have carte blanche to my craft room. We set up a project or two each time we meet. Small ones, but ones they can complete in a few hours. Everyone has a good time, get to craft and take home a cool project to keep or give as a gift. The Cuttle bug would be a great addition to our crafting days. Thank you for doing this great give-a-way and thank you to ProvoCraft.

Saw your post thanks to Sassy Marsha and thought...wow, what a fantastic give away. Cuttlebug is a great tool to use for paper crafts and would love to have one especially for making Christmas cards and gifts. Going to link on FB.

Wow this is fantastic....I would love to own one of these. You can beautiful cards. I posted on my blog..here is the link.http://nicoletnadeau.blogspot.com/2011/10/who-wans-to-win-cuttlebug.htmlI will post on facebook and come back with the link..Thank you for a chance to win this beautiful little bug !

Thank you for giving us the oppertunity for a chance to win a Cuttlebug. I would like to win a Cuttlebug because I am having two knee replacements on Oct31st. I'm not too concerned about pain, but rather keeping my creative spirit alive. My vision for winning the Cuttle bug is to have my girlfriends over and have some "girl" time. I don't want them to be worried about me, we could be doing something creative together. The Cuttlebug would be a great way to share with my friends, Thank you Jenny you are so refreshing and a true insperation, Laura

This summer I got hooked by a bunch of new acquaintances here on facebook through you and also through my own blog! The good news is I am so hooked I have been making cupcake toppers and wrappers and even enclosure cards for orders I pack for customers. So you can see how much I would love to get hooked up with a cuttlebug! Great giveaway and so happy you met with the PC people what a perfect pairing <3

I have wanted a cuttlebug for awhile now but due to family situations cant afford at this time. I love making cards and would use this to enhance them.Thanks for the chance to win. I am also a new follower.

The Cuttlebug is the only thing missing from my little Cricut family. I love the look of embossing and would use this on my creations. I love to scrapbook and make cards and this would be the perfect item for the extra touch! Thanks for the opportunity to win such an awesome prize, I am a new follower!

Dearest sweet Jenny, this is such an awesome giveaway!! I would love a chance to win too. :)Your kits are such fun! So gald you are making more cake kits. Have a lovely merry happy week ahead and love to you!

Lately, I've felt the need to return to handmade crafting and illustration to escape from my web-based work. I'm sick of sitting in front of a computer all day (and then doing the same after work). A Cuttlebug would be a great tool for me because it would allow me to craft without depending on electricity-operated things.

Why do I want to win this Cuttlebug? Because I got to finally try using one just a few weeks ago at a local art class. I was blown away by how much the Cuttlebug added to my designs. (And the other women in my class were amazed that I had yet to use one, let alone didn't own one!) I feel like this machine would help me take some of my designs to another level. And help me explore and learn all sorts of new techniques too. Thanks for offering this giveaway!

This is just what I have been wanting! I am not a computer-y person and love the simpler ones...I would go and buy a few of tim holtz's dies...and some letters, and some......You know I am a follower...love you two! hugs! karen....

I would love, to win the cuttlebug! I have a sizzix, and make a lot of cards...both to sell and I also donate them to a cancer center in California. my Sizzix is so big and heavy to haul out when I want to do a small project. The Cuttlebug would be just the ticket!LOVE your beautiful blog!

Yay!!!! I would love to win the bug for my sweet twelve year old granddaughter, she pointed one out to me just the other day!!!!...my son and daughter n law are the dearest people on earth and have had a tough time financially....this would rock Mel Belles' socks off!

I'm a follower of your blog, and would love to win a new cuttlebug! I actually got mine a few years ago, but have been wanting to pass it onto my cousin who loves paper crafts just as much as I do! She's a college student though, so she has to save rather than spend. I was hoping to get one to her for Christmas. If I win one, I could either pass mine onto her, or surprise her with this new one...I like the latter idea...

Thanks so much for reading! We absolutely love to hear from you guys...so please leave a comment if the mood strikes you, or if you have any questions for us about a recipe, project, art supply , paint color, etc. Don't panic if your comment doesn't appear right away...we moderate all comments to avoid getting tons of spam.
